Hihi everyone! This is only a brag and not really a big update, mainly cause I dont have much to update about. Im not playing alot of poker at all these days, just when I have the time and feel like it and those two rarely corrolate I feel. Anyways I noticed I had 450 bucks sitting on stars today so I registered for the sunday mill and the 50k hu trying to kill some time. Lol-busted out of the million but went deep in the 50k HU, faced a bunch of random donkeys and eventually shipped the thing for 14k.
All is well in the world. Im really happy luckboxing yet another donkament, however, today or tomorrow I will know the results on the latest big exam I took in early januari and naturally this donkament win makes me kinda uneasy. The lord giveth and all that. owell, run good one time.
I have registered to play in the PokerStars World Blogger Championship of Online Poker! The WBCOOP is a free online Poker tournament open to all Bloggers, so register on WBCOOP to play.
So yeah, I lost my iphone in vegas this summer and long story short, some cab driver found it, contacted me in sweden and asked me to get a fedex account so they could ship it back. Me being a lazy bastard and fedex being so fucking anoying I couldnt get a fedex account set up and eventually I just gave up. I realized that it would be such a waste to buy a new iphone when I knew where my old one was so today i finally called the cab company again and they said they had given up on me and shipped it to verizon.
Anyone knows how that works? Is there any way of getting the phone back from verizon realtively easily or should i just give up?
Hey lp im trying to find a site full of hilarious comics (no its not cyanide and happiness)
Im pretty sure there was a thread about the comics on this site way back. I distictively remember one where this little stickman stands before a huge deamon like thing and the dialogue goes something like
-what are you doing here human?
- I got lost on my way to the kitchen
- You ended up in the 7th plane of torment on your way to the kitchen?
- I am not a clever man
Or something like that. I know the description sucks but hopefully someone can help me. Just spam sites for me plz
Ye I keep making these half assed short updates and shit so I figured I would make a bigish one for once. Since I got home from vegas I was sort of motivated to grind a ton. I decided that since I am going back to school and wont have alot of time I was going to grind 2/4 6-max on ipoker for a stress free grind to throw in whenever I have some free time. I decided not to play anything higher even if my bankroll went huge because I just dont want my life to be affected by my poker results at all, especially when I am in school. The ipoker games where suprisingly good, I stick to the 50bb min tables and there still plenty of really bad players and bad regs. The problem is, I have some serious lagtarded issues. I think playing only heads up for so long ruined me completely, I just try to run people over a bit too much and just dont give anyone credit for anything. I am slowly adjusting but its really going slow and getting used to playing 6-max again has been kinda painful. I am still like 36/31/6 and Im still spewing in obvious spots.
I think the main problem is that I dont really enjoy playing 6-max that much. Its just a grind and it kinda bores me sometimes but whatever, its just a job and a job that pays pretty well if you know what you are doing. So this sunday I decided to play a couple of donkaments for kicks and among those where the ftops 500 hu. Emmidiately after starting my first match in that I realized how much more comfortable I am with playing heads up. I just enjoy it more and I feel superconfident in my own ability to crush my opponents. Heads up is just such a fast paced game where gameflow can change in an instant and making good reads and getting inside your opponents head pays off really fast. In 6-max its just way more of a grind, you pick up some tendecies that you might use to make a thin call down 1500 hands later or w/e but its so slow and grindy compared to hu. Its also way easier to actually see where your ev is coming from in HU which always is a comfort.
I went deep in the 500 HU and eventually busted 7th for 14,3k(as mentioned before). Kinda discuraged with losing the match against a fishy player that went on to win the whole thing but atleast I was really loving poker again. After this I havent played a single hand of 6-max, I also havent stuck to my rule of playing only 2/4. (w/e i felt really focused and played some 5/10 yesterday, sue me!)
Cashing in the HU donkament gave me a roll of ftp and the HU action there is really sick. Alot of bumhunters but the playerpool is so huge its not that hard to find someone to play you, especially since my tableratings shows me at like negative 9k or something after some random spews i made a couple of months back.
So now I am in a bit of a predicament because HU isnt all fine and dandy either. It is alot more stressful, you cant always get action and you have to deal with the constant fear of some opponent quiting you at any second. It can also be really swingy if you are into that kind of thing. 6-max on the other hand is very consistant, not terribly swingy and just all in all a comfortable grind. You can always sit down, decide to grind for two hours and that is that. Its just boring and I am not as good at it as I am in heads up. To actually show a good profit I need to man up and stop lagtarding whenever I get a chance.
Here are my 6-max results from ipoker so far:
Heres the HU from FTP:
And my shot at 5/10 on ipoker yesterday(lol rungoodaments):
Being results oriented aside, I think I am pretty good at hu and definitely alot better than I am at 6-max. It just suits me better. I still wanna polish my 6-max game so I can actually grind it profitably whenever I dont feel like playing HU or w/e.
As for not poker related stuff, I finally locked down an appartment and I am signing contracts and stuff this saturday. Took me a while but I finally found one that I really like and that didnt skyrocket completely in price. I will upload pictures when I have moved in and stuff but I am pretty stoked about it. Cost me 1,1 mil SEK(uhm I guess like $140k) for a small appartment in central uppsala. Living aint ez.
Im getting pumped for school, I know its going to be tough and disgusting but I welcome the challenge as I havent done much at all but playing some poker here and there for the last year. Gonna try and make the most of the last few weeks for freedom I have.
Ill end it at with a cool song with a very swedish summerish video.
Ye, I played two ftops events and the sunday mill today. Got really deep in the 500 HU event, ran pretty well and got lucky in drawing opponents. Drew a real fish with 8 players left but unfortunately I couldnt get much going and eventually stacked off when I called a 3-bet with AQs flopped a queen and got checkraised all in on the turn by KK. Idk if I could have played the hand diffrently but maybe I should check back turn alot there as this guy was very obv with his holdings in most situations. Anyways,
I shipped 14,3k for it so its not bad, still feel disapointed somehow but thats so standard and it will have passed tomorrow. Also went deep in the 300 freezeout and busted like 130th something for 1,1k and I also busted a ftp pro for an extra 200 and won some in cash so I can book a 15k day.
Feels good to run hot as ive been doing kinda mehish in cashgames. Been grinding 2/4 on ipoker playing like a complete lagtarded retard, its been alot of fun but I definitely need to tighten up if I wanna make some money in those games.
As for other stuff I am still hunting for an appartment to buy for when I start school, I spent the whole sunday looking at diffrent ones and will be bidding on them sometime during the week.
Owell now its 8 in the morning and I sorta should sleep and stuff. Take care kids
Sitting at the airport in philly right now waiting for my flight back home to stockholm. I dont have alot of batteries so ill keep it breif. Vegas was a fail in terms of poker. I also degened it up alot more than I was planning to playing alot of blackjack roulette and baccarat. Fortunately I won enough in omahaflips against pinball to cover my -ev game losses. Overall I had a great time in vegas, it was great meeting everyone(to lazy to list everyone, you guys know who you are yo) and partying and eating great food etc.
Just found out that I got into medschool so I have like another month of freedom left before hell is unleached upon me. I have mixed feeling about this. I really really wanted to get in so I am very happy, but at the same time living with poker players was sick fun and I was aiming at setting up a pokerhouse somewhere nice if I didnt get in to school. owell, its all good. Its going to be great to get back home to sweden and just chill for a while, no drinking no vicious spending and no desert.
Ye im a failure. Cashgames and donkaments have gone really bad during the wsop. Im happy how I played almost every hand in the donkaments but i definitely spewed in cash alot.
Anyways, I busted the WSOP ME after 3 hours. I had an ok table i guess, a couple of softspots but unfortunately I had this very agressive cashgame player Ive to my left. Ive actually played with him before in a cashgame in copenhagen. To my right I had the guy who won the 50k horse this year. Rest of the table was a mix of young decent players and old fish.
Only two really interesting hands I think and both are in the second level.
I have around 31k at 100/200, two people limp and the 50k horse winner raises to 650 in the co. He has 15k in chips. I make it 2k otb with AKo. Villian tanks and 4-bets to like 5k. This was a weird hand because villian had been kinda inline and so had i but on lvl 2 he started loosening up a bit and I had been really active the last few orbits. I was very close to folding but I eventually jammed and he snapped with KK gg.
So now im down to 15k and I play tight for like 20 min until I pick up 94s and open it in mp. The good internet guy to my left calls and an old nit calls in the sb. Flop comes 9s9x5s. I bet 1200 young dude makes it 3k old nit folds. I tank for a while and jam my last 12k in, villian snapcalls with As7s turn 6s river brick. GG LIFE.
Ye so the wsop was a huge disapointment pokerwise, dropped like 20k total in donkaments and cash. I might play a 2k donkament tomorrow at the bellagio but not sure. Atleast Ive gotten really motivated to grind again so when I get back to sweden i will try to grind a ton online again.
Passed on going out tonight cause I wanted to play the event tomorrow. Played 5/10 for a couple of hours at the red rock casino instead. Aj has talked about how soft that game is on the weekends but idk really. The game was soft but crappy cause of a couple of shorties and shit. I ran over the table pretty brutally but aj owned me in a couple of pots and i ended up down 1,5k or so. So I come home a bit pissed and shit cause Im down and because the game broke all of a sudden but w/e, Im playing the event tomorrow so I feel good about coming home pretty early.
Well, I guess not. Just talked to nolan on msn and apparently the event is full and I havent registered yet FML.
Such tilt cause I passed on a solid dinner at naked fish+ a night of clubbing with lpers to play a shitty 5-10 game and losing money.
Im to tired to write about alot of hands, i might update later but idk. Yesterday me and aj played 5/10 at the wynn, and whos sitting at the other 5/10 table if not the one and only, the epic, the magic, the legendary nazgul! Our table was a mustmove so I got moved to nazguls left pretty early. He was sitting like 8k deep or something at 5/10 and he was completely fucking raping the table. It was so hilarious, he just bombed like a madman and the whole table was on such sick tilt. Fortunately I was to his left so I didnt get raped as much. Dont really remember any hands except the last one where its folded to naz in the sb he raises and I call in the bb with A10o. Flop comes 1023r naz checks I bet kinda big and naz just snapshoves over and I call pretty fast. Idk what naz had but w/e, winning an all in against naz was pretty awesome.
Today me and aj played 10/20 at the bellagio, I was doing pretty well and my table was really soft. I will probably talk about some hands later but tonight im to tired. I ran pretty well and was up like 5k at one point, aj was crushing his table and had ran up 2k to like 10k or something. Our entire house has tickets to see the new transformers movie but neither me or aj felt like leaving the tables so we stayed and grinded instead. Turns out that was a misstake.
I played a couple of hands badish and dropped like 3k before me and aj decided to go eat. All restaurants where practicly full though so we picked up our chips and headed to the wynn instead. The 5/10 list was ridicilous but they started a 10/20 game pretty soon and we sat down. Our table was the mustmove so aj and like half the table got moved pretty quickly. Left was me, two 25/50 regs and one asian dude. A terrible fucking table and I have no idea why I kept playing. w/e, I lost a couple of hands where draws didnt get there or w/e, and then this really strange hand comes up:
One of the 25/50 players(think he said he played 25/50 online but i sorta doubt that but meh) opens on the button and I 3-bet to like 300 in the sb with Q10hh. I have like 4k he covers. He calls flop comes J97r giving me a straight draws and bd fd. I bet like half pot he calls. Turn is 4h giving me a flushdraw. I bet like 600-700 into a 1,2k pot or something. Villian thinks for a while, asks how much I have and then makes it 2,1k. Im so confused but I cant really fold since im getting raw pot odds to call and I cant really shove cause after I call i only have 1,5k left and no fold equity. I call and river is a 7 pairing the board. I consider jamming for like 2 seconds before i check, villian thinks for a while, checks and shows down K10 for k high. FML
I think I probably played it fine but idk, stacksizes made it weird and stuff. All in all I played pretty well imo but the table was tough and my draws never got there so I ended up down like 2,2k making today a negative $200.
I should just not play 10/20 at the wynn at all when the bellagio is just wayway softer.
Anyways, im still up like 4k on the trip in cashgames so I cant complain, might grind some tomorrow if im not still tilted and on saturday im playing the 1500 event.
